The book by Kurvitz, the disco Elysium guy, got a translation recently from fans who created a translation team. It’s free and you can get it from the subreddit. It even includes bonus material in the form of articles from an Estonian magazine and art made by the team.

The prose is excellent and just feels good inside your head as you read it. It honestly reminds me of “We, the drowned”, another excellent book.

Has anyone else here read it? I’d love to discuss.

    I just downloaded it. Gonna put it on my e-reader and put Murderbot Diaries on the back burner for a bit. Holy shit.

    EDIT: Read just half a page and the prose is already fantastic. I'm so happy this happened.

      Right?! The way he describes the media reaction sensation of missing children and the “before/after” dichotomy that is created by particularly evocative versions really hit hard.
